Automating senior care provider-to-family communication
Connect 4 Healthcare, LLC. announced today that the v.1 integration of their Connect for Healthcare™ family communication platform with Resource Systems’ CareTracker software is complete and available to hosted CareTracker clients.
The integration of the two services enables Resource Systems’ CareTracker clients to automatically populate ADL-related family-update metrics in the Connect for Healthcare™ service using data they’ve already entered into CareTracker.
The product of a year of development and testing by both companies, the integration uses proprietary algorithms to translate CareTracker data into family-friendly Connect for Healthcare™ update results. It is believed to be the first automated approach to the creation of proactive updates for family members on the status of their loved one(s) in long-term care.
“Based on the input from our reference families, we knew that some of them wanted regular updates on wellness indicators that could be gleaned from ADL data”, says Neil Moore, Founder and CEO of Connect 4 Healthcare. “I approached Larry Triplett, President of Resource Systems (the makers of CareTracker) with the idea that working together we could reduce data entry by automatically updating the ADL-related “resident status metrics” available in Connect using the data already in CareTracker while ensuring 100% correlation with the facility’s CareTracker data - and that’s just what we’ve done.”
